Influence of Viscosity and Memory-Dependent Heat Conduction on Wave Motion in Micro-Polar Thermoelastic Plates
摘要
Visco-elastic materials are used widely for the Mitigation of seismic motion and vibration isolation in different branches of engineering and have significant advantages in the study of energy dissipation. Visco-elastic materials and devices are often used in a thermoelastic coupling state. In this study, a new formulation has been established for mathematical analysis of thermoelastic plate under micro-polarity and viscosity impact.
MethodsThe preliminary equations are made dimensionless. The problem is simplified by applying normal mode analysis technique and the analytical solutions for temperature distribution, micro-rotation and potential functions are obtained.
FindingsThe secular equations for symmetric and anti-symmetric modes are obtained for suitable boundary constraints. The obtained theoretic results are explored numerically with the aid of MATLAB programming software. The attribute of waves (attenuation coefficient and phase velocity) are displayed in the form of graphs to depict the viscosity impact for Green-Lindsay (GL) model. Certain particular cases of interest are also presented.
